Shigeru Aoba worried about the possible use of

Please note that the '2' in N2 is in superscript, as in 'Nē', in the original program, however to ease the discovery of this write-up the node title is listed as simply N2.
It is not clear what the Nē stands for. It could stand for Non-
Nuclear, as an Nē Weapon has the destructive power of a
nuclear bomb without the
radiation.
